Ministry of Mending

Welcome to Ministry of Mending – a dedicated mending store based in Cornwall, U.K.

We’re passionate about helping you to discover the JOY in mending your own clothes, especially with a SPEEDARNER – we might just be a little bit hooked on that!

Browse our online shop and you’ll find plastic-free, vintage, reclaimed & locally-produced sewing tools & haberdashery to make mending simple and spark a little JOY in your heart.

Ministry of Mending was created in 2019 by Becs McLaughlin when she couldn’t find the simple, clear advice she needed to mend a thread-bare crotch on her favourite pair of jeans. Nothing seemed to exist for real beginners, nor could she find a dedicated shop selling hand-picked mending supplies. Becs has always had a passion for helping others and learning new crafts, so in her spare time she decided to share what she had learnt about mending with others by creating this website and shop.

We’re always on the hunt for mending tools & haberdashery that are gentle on the planet.
